Our Junior Eco team have taken part in the annual RSPB School Birdwatch, spending their lunchtime exploring the forest school area and observing the birds that shares our school grounds. The children were excited to discover just how many species make use of the varied habitats we have on site.
Armed with clipboards and binoculars, they identified 12 different bird species, including favourites such as blue tits and goldfinches. The highlight of the session was spotting a flock of 17 wood pigeons all at once—the most frequently seen bird of the afternoon!
It was a wonderful opportunity for pupils to connect with nature, practise their identification skills and contribute to a national wildlife survey. Well done, Junior Eco!
